Just found this. I remember when your sister passed in 5th grade. I'll never forget the day you came back to our gifted class after that. We were so young and you were so strong. Then in 8th grade I remember Morgan telling me about your father. It was so heartbreaking. I'm not gonna lie, it makes me so happy to see you become the amazing success you are today.
Watching this really touches my heart. Knowing that you've been through so much shows me personally that you deserve everything good in life. You have an amazing Mother, Father & amazing siblings. You are a strong, intelligent man and it shows how much of a real man you are knowing that you have to go through this everyday. Your creativity inspires all of us every single day of our lives. Especially me. You're an amazing man, Maika. You know your fans will always be by your side no matter what.
wow. maika your my inspiration. that just made me cry and seeing you just telling the story not crying is amazing. your such a strong person. your my role model

Maika is one of the few people that I feel like needs a hug more than anybody else. From every interview I've seen with him, he's always been a nice and soft-spoken person.
this just gives me another reason to look up to you. you're really strong to have gotten through all of this, and now you can inspire others with your story. we love you, maika.
This is the first video I've watched of yours. Found about you from TWO. I love your voice in space x time and now I have so much respect for you. You're so strong to even post this video talking about what has happened in your life and I'm glad you have made music to vent because it helps me too xxxx
I have so much respect for you, not just for rising above all the horrible events of your past, but for coming out and publicly recounting them to help people through their lives. You are a fantastic musician, and a very good man. The world needs more role models like you.
Maika my heart goes out to you. You are such a strong and rational person, I don't know if I could have survived all that tragedy! I could barely even listen to you tell this story without crying! I am so glad that you were able to take all this pain and turn it into such beatiful music, i looveee you!!
I am sorry for your loss ! But I am so proud of your strength and tenacity ! Your such an aspirational musician to so many of us ! Please don’t ever stop the music and please always stay well on a mental level is my prayers for you and your family ❤
I really love that you did this. Its a good way of helping other people, by telling about what you have been through, especially because you have a big following of kids that need someone to look up to. :)
i was sitting here crying and i don't cry easily not unless it connected diretly to me. you are the greatest influence i've heard of. you are so strong and talented.
I can't even imagine going through something like that. Loosing any of my sisters would be the worst thing that could ever happen to me. I don't think I could handle it.
I've lost friends from suicide to car accidents to being involved with the wrong people and i know that during those times I just had this input of blaming myself. And it was because I felt that if I had said or done something to change that one decision, they would still be alive. And for the longest time I bottled all of those emotions up and I never spoke to anyone about it. So, like you, I turned to creativity and just started pouring everything out on lyrics. It helped so much.
That must've taken a lot, for him to share his story with us. I never realized that he had such a dark past. He always seems like such a happy person. It shows that he has the strength to stand tall and he has my respect for that. ...P.S: TFT for life! XD
I admire you so much to know that you went through that, i can't imagine going through something like that so young. To know how strong you are & to share this story with us makes me love you even more. You are really an amazing person
Wow Maika you are a strong and truly amazing person, your music is beautiful and I cannot wait till 5th November to see you and the lads in concert. Big hugs ♥
I already knew that you had been through really difficult times and that your sister and your father had passed away. Hearing the story in its entirity, however, just made me respect you that whole bit more. Maika, you are such a strong person and I'm glad that music serves as an outlet for your emotional burdens, stresses etc. I Can't Decide was the first song that had ever made me cry because I could feel everything that you were going through. Keep strong!
i cried while watching this and still am....your super awesome Mailka....i had a huge amount of respect towards you but now that respect is even more then b4!!! =']'''
It's so sad, I'm sorry for you Maika :'( I knew for your father, but not for your sister ... I cried when I figured out what Deathbed is really about, this song is my favorite of TFT, so now I feel so sad that's my fav but I keep loving this song like I love every song of There For Tomorrow :) Stay strong Maika, and thank you to have created There For Tomorrow, excellent band ! :')
i know the feeling lost my dad of suicide four years ago then my mom four years and a week to his death day. ive lost two friends since then. i hate the feeling but still keep going. many have asked how are you here or how do you do it? the answer is the will to fight. i have my days but i know others do too and if i can help someone deal with something its helping me grow. thanks for the insperation means a lot to see someone in my shoes perservier and become something great
This is probably the 100th time I'm watching this video - can't explain why. It's definitely not because of my feelings to Maika, well not only because of it. It's TFT. True fans will understand me.
And she is one of the few people I feel like I know I can trust. But sometimes it's not enough and I just cry in my pillow because I'm so different. I tried to kill myself using scissors at school one time, but I hesitated and decided not to. Thank you for posting this up. I know that I have hope, and that I'm just different. Seeing you confide all this just reminds me that you're human too, and not the idol I've wanted to be. Thanks for giving me hope. May your dad and sister rest in peace.
Aroha mai, Aroha Atu, Kia kaha Maika. Ka mate te kainga tahi, ka ora te kainga rua ahakoa tonu whatungarongaro te tangata toi tu whenua! Love given, Love received. Stay Strong Maika. When one house dies, a second lives even though as a man disappears from sight, the land still remains!
Thank you, Maika, for posting this up. I'm a 14-year old girl today who feels like a total outcast. My mom thinks I'm weird just because I'm a tomboy and like anime, and my cousins call me stupid. They've been doing this to me for as long as I can remember, and I've always been burdened with it for 6-7 years. I was about 7 that time when it started. And then I've made my mind to try to kill myself in 8th grade. Sometimes I still feel like doing it. But I have a best friend who's like my sister.

I swear i cried when i watched this.
I know how it feels like to lose someone important in your life.
I've experienced before...

...P.S: TFT for life! XD
I admire you so much to know that you went through that, i can't imagine going through something like that so young. To know how strong you are & to share this story with us makes me love you even more. You are really an amazing person
It feels good to know I'm not alone in this sea of darkness. You are a strong individual Maika, I hope live a long,prosperous and happy life.
Maika's a extremely strong person----it makes me want to cry!
